Dr. Eliahu Ben-Elissar, director general of the Prime Minister’s Office, returned from Rumania last night. He was sent by Premier Menachem Begin earlier this week on a short mission to Rumania “to brief the Rumanian authorities on the latest developments in the Mideast.” No further details were given.
Ben-Elissar did not speak to reporters at Ben Gurion Airport and was driven away immediately after landing. An air of secrecy characterized his entire mission.
